🏢 About Everlight Solar

Everlight Solar stands out by offering homeowners hassle-free, affordable solar energy solutions with no upfront costs, making sustainable energy accessible. The company's direct-to-consumer approach in Milwaukee's growing renewable energy market provides a dynamic environment where employees can contribute to meaningful environmental impact while working with modern technology.

About This Role

As a Sales Enablement Assistant at Everlight Solar, you'll work directly with the CEO and Executive Team to implement company strategies while supporting Sales Managers and Consultants with project completion. This role is impactful because you'll collect and present critical sales data, serve as a liaison between sales teams and customers, and directly enable the company's mission of expanding solar adoption in Wisconsin.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing Salesforce data to prepare reports for the executive team's morning meeting, followed by coordinating with Sales Managers on project timelines and customer follow-ups. You'd spend midday communicating with homeowners to gather installation details, then use iWork applications to create presentations that help sales teams understand customer needs and market trends.
